Should the ref have lost his license? Skip to 13:00 of this video

I think the ref was in the wrong place when the combination first started at 13:21 he was off for stroll away from the action then arrived within reach and didnt know he was out on his feet already. If he was on the ropes already bending down to see into the action he could have stopped it, but in those days they let things go a lot further than they do these days anyway, so if he had stopped it he would probably have to answer for that too.

I agree, if the referee hovers then the fans bitch.
Big guys, big ring, and plenty of room to be out of position, momentarily.

I'll cut the ref a break on that one. He was kinda out of position to see the first blow land, and after that Dokes was still standing up. Very dangerous situation though.

That was fine, nice clean KO, no doubt who won and no moaning about a quick stoppage. Should do it more.

haha nice clean KO like nice clean frontal lobotomy haha yeah its shocking as shit to see guesss Im gettin older mates, that was an upsetting final punch there and when I get in my real upsetting moods I like to watch the Cooney-Norton fiasco and when I see the final 4 full force Cooney punches landing right on the button of an unconscious Norton I come close to vomiting each time.

23 years ago in 1990 the rules were not as strict as they are now. 23 years before that in 1967 they were even less strict.

And 23 years from now in 2036 they will be even stricter.

In UK the refs stop fights way too early.
